Mofan and Ai Jiangtu searched the entire temple. There were just too many people around, whether they were from Xixiong City or somewhere else. It was impossible to find the real demon spirit among so many people.
There was nothing in the temple, so the two decided to look for it in the city. The city was bustling with people, yet for some reason, it felt like something was missing.
Mofan and Ai Jiangtu went from the temple to the city. The same stone steps, the same mountain paths, the same streets, even the owner of the tavern was the same. Mofan clearly remembered the gentle glow in his eyes.
However, for some reason, the spacious city gave Mofan a strange feeling. When Mofan had almost crossed Xixiong City, he suddenly realized something was not right.
It turned out that the illusionary world was like a GIF. Unlike the real world, there were different people, different things, and different scenes. Everything in the wooden fish's illusionary world was like a pre-programmed program. When the timeline was up, it would automatically return to the starting point.
For example, an hour ago, you saw an old granny spilling fruits from her basket by the roadside. After a while, you would see the same old granny spilling the fruits in the same way. Even the trajectory of the fruits would be the same. An old yellow van had just driven past, and it would soon drive past again. The siren at the harbor would still sound even if he missed it.
"I'm afraid the illusionary realm is constructed based on the memories of the demon spirit. Most of the scenes are repeated in the same time frame as she remembered. Did you notice that the area is still in chaos? It means she has never been there before. She doesn't have any memory of it." Ai Jiangtu was a Space Magician. He soon discovered that the illusionary realm was full of bugs!
Mofan nodded. He was still amazed. He never thought a little wooden fish could create such an illusionary realm. He wondered what kind of sacred artifact the wooden fish was.
"If this is a world constructed based on her memories, she must be pretending to be herself …" Mofan said.
"Yes, you've seen the demon spirit before. You know what she looks like, so we just need to find her," Ai Jiangtu said.
"We were too reckless when we came in here. If Jiang Yu and the others could find some clues, it might be a lot easier to find Miyata!" Mofan said.
Ai Jiangtu nodded. He was about to say something when he suddenly smelled a strange smell. He subconsciously turned around, but there was nothing behind him.
"Did you smell anything?" Ai Jiangtu asked.
"I did, it smells like mugwort," Mofan said.
It was easy to identify the smell of mugwort when it was burned. Mofan remembered his father used to smoke his stomach with mugwort.
"Is there any mugwort nearby?"
"No … that's not right, we don't have a sense of smell here. It's the smell outside. Strange, aren't Nanyu and Jiang Shaoxu watching over us? Why are they burning the mugwort? It's so close to … cough cough, damn it, are they burning the mugwort right beside my nose? I … I'm going to choke! "Mo Fan coughed a few times.
"What are they doing? Why are they burning the mugwort beside us?" Ai Jiangtu was confused.
…
Inside the dilapidated temple, Jiang Yu was holding a bundle of burning mugwort in his hand. He kept fanning the smoke into Mo Fan and Ai Jiangtu's nostrils. They almost burst into tears from the suffocating smoke.
"Is it going to work? Mugwort is very common in our country, but it doesn't seem to be suitable for growing in Japan," Mu Tingying said.
"Therefore, they will know where Miyata is once they find the mugwort. Didn't you hear them talking in their sleep? It's very likely that they are in Xixiong City a few years ago, "Jiang Yu said.
Little did Mo Fan and Ai Jiangtu know, when they were talking in the illusion, they would still be talking to each other while they were still asleep. To the others, it looked like they were talking in their sleep.
Jiang Shaoxu and Nan Jue only learned what kind of world it was in the illusion.
"By the way, you mentioned that Miyata really exists in Xixiong City, right?" Jiang Shaoxu asked Jiang Yu.
"Yeah, Miyata's family used to have a garden with wild chrysanthemums and mugwort. A monk in the temple who knew medicine needed some natural herbs, so her garden would send the dried herbs to the temple. She used to be a regular at the temple," Jiang Yu said.
"Then how did she turn into a demon spirit that harmed people?" Jiang Shaoxu asked.
…
The Wooden Fish Illusion …
Mo Fan was indeed quick-witted. When he smelled the mugwort, he immediately realized that the people outside were trying to warn them. Otherwise, there was no reason for them to use the mugwort to smoke them!
"I don't think they are trying to warn us. There's no way they would know what happened in the illusion," said Ai Jiangtu.
"Maybe they do. Should I give it a try?"
"How?"
"Hey, if you want to know what's going on here, you should take the mugwort away from me. It's suffocating me!" Mofan suddenly looked into the sky and cursed while pointing at a cloud.
Ai Jiangtu was dumbfounded. He seriously wondered what Mofan's brain was made of. How did he come up with such a lame idea?
However, Ai Jiangtu was soon left speechless, as the smell of the mugwort was indeed far away!
How the f * * k is that even possible?
Ai Jiangtu was left speechless.
"It's actually working, hehe!" Mofan let out an eerie laugh. In order to confirm it, he added, "Ask Jiang Shaoxu to come closer to me. I smelled the scent on her!"
A moment later, when the smell of the mugwort dissipated, Mofan immediately smelled the faint rose scent on Jiang Shaoxu's body. It was quite alluring.
Ai Jiangtu smelled it too. His tanned face displayed an 'I'm impressed' expression.
"Come closer, come closer … hehe, Ai Jiangtu, I'm telling you, Jiang Shaoxu has her own scent. She smells like roses even though she doesn't put anything on. It's quite nice. Mm, the scent is getting stronger. Is she putting her chest in front of us? Could it be the rumored scent of her breasts? "said Mofan.
Mofan suddenly felt a sharp pain on his cheek as soon as he finished the sentence.
Ai Jiangtu was startled. He took a closer look at Mofan's face and saw a tiny handprint on it …
